Bamboo Tea Benefits and Usage

Why drink bamboo leaf tea? That’s a good question. I, too, once assumed bamboo was only good for feeding adorable pandas and as a love-it-then-regret-it landscape filler. But I was wrong. silica. It’s the mineral we love to overlook. But organic silica (also known as silicon) provides some awesome bamboo tea benefits that you really don’t want to miss out on.

Bamboo ends up being a much more economical and practical way to get more natural silicon into your diet.
